Often this is the first thing people notice when the master cylinder has leaked brake fluid into the peddle cluster and toasted it. The bushings swell and the brake light will stay on because the peddle doesn't quite disengage from the brake light switch. See if pulling it up with your toe shuts it off. Pull up the carpet and look for wet floor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
If this is the case, you have to replace the master cylinder and rebuild the cluster. Good luck... |
